Friends,
I know that it is not too shocking that Dale Earnhardt Jr. ended up at Hendrick Motorsports with Jeff Gordon and Jimmy Johnson. Still, I believe that most fans figured that this would be the third choice behind Joe Gibbs and Richard Childress. Nevertheless, if Jr. wants to win and win now, could he have chosen a better team? No. The Hendrick crew is hitting on all the right cylinders with the Car of Tomorrow and just seems to be getting better. They have won most of the races this year and do not seem to be looking back. Combining Jr. with Gordon and Johnson really does create a "super team" of sorts. As to whether some fans think that Jr. is "selling out" by going to the team with his biggest racing rival (Gordon) -- not so. He had to do what was best for his career and he has done it. I believe that the rivalry with Gordon will be well-intact. Good luck in 2008 Jr. and hopefully we'll see you in the #5 car.

Wow the most popular and the least liked right next to each other. Gordon in first and right in front(a lap down) Earnhardt.
Wheels,
Good to hear from you. This will be a great rivalry -- and I still say, "go Jeff Gordon over Jr. by a nose."
